That nickname just cracks me up! We're sitting here watching the snowboarding half pipe competition, cheering Shaun White on!

I've decided should I need another husband it will be the Tomato. I can be Mrs. Tomato I just think he is so down to earth and cool. I saw him in the X-Games and that stuff is so cool. You think he is interested in old boring women lol

That was my first thought when I saw the title. When I was a kid they use to fly around town in their hot air balloon and throw frisbees to people.

I know that was hysterical, he was so cute!

I like this kid. He is so nice and refreshingly not a twerp like Bode Miller.
I loved watching the event too. It was so much fun!!! Go USA!!!

 

[Mercy]

He was great last night, glad he got the gold!!!

 

[tkd lisa]

My son laughed hysterically when he heard that nickname! I'm glad he got the gold. He really was open about messing up on the qualifying run. Most sports figures now just make excuses, but he took it all on himself. I loved the quote "I missed it because I wasn't paying attention." Good for him!

I like both the Flying Tomato and Bode Miller, who didn't make any excuses for losing the gold. He said he skiied as well as he could have. Why not respect someone for his talent, just because he's young and likes to have a good time? I wonder which one Sasha Cohen would pick.

They can have all the talent in the world, but a jerk is a jerk and Bode Miller is a first class jerk.

Schaun White is wonderful. I loved the pictures they showed of him as a little kid. I could totally hear his mom telling him not to go too fast and trying to slow him down by telling him he had to snowboard instead of ski and then that he had to snowboard backwards!

 

[Miss Jasmine]

Shaun White makes me smile. He always has ever since watching him on Cribs and then following his career. He did awesome last night. I was sooo excited for him!
